Machine Learning Engineer

Swish Analytics is a sports analytics, betting and fantasy startup building the next generation of predictive sports analytics data products. We believe that odds making is a challenge rooted in engineering, mathematics, and sports betting expertise; not intuition. We're looking for team-oriented individuals with an authentic passion for accurate and predictive real-time data who can execute in a fast-paced, creative, and continually-evolving environment without sacrificing technical excellence.

Our challenges are unique, so we hope you are comfortable in uncharted territory and passionate about building systems to support products across a variety of industries and enterprise clients.

The Data Science team is hiring an experienced Machine Learning Engineer with a background building machine learning and statistical modeling frameworks from scratch. They can assist with optimizing the different aspects of the modeling process (Data Validation, Data Visualization, Data Stores & Structures, Feature Engineering, Model Training & Evaluation, Deployments) and improving a variety of Swish products. They will know when to “roll your own” and when to outsource a particular step in the modeling process.

They will engineer custom solutions to solve complex data-related sports challenges across multiple leagues.
